Well time sure flies! It's been two years with the lady and we had discussed Galiano Island for some time. The island itself is located in the Southern Gulf Islands in between mainland BC and Vancouver Island. (1 hour from Tsawwassen ferry terminal).

Anyhoo, we got a cute little cottage and went adventuring throughout the first third of an island due to our lack of transportation, but most of the cutesy little shops were all walking distance, and we were 5 minutes from the ferry...and the beach!

The food too was delicious (I'm sorry I didn't get any pictures) but if anyone from Vancouver is looking for a quick getaway to somewhere close that isn't congested and more rural, I would highly recommend it. The sea-faring birds were also amazing as we saw some herons; the crows have been replaced by ravens and eagles fly free.

I kept the kit minimal with a D610, 24-70 2.8, 70-200 2.8 and a 50 1.4.
